Long Creek Ramp

[pstone]

I'm assuming a guy can still launch at the old Long Creek Ramp down by what used to be Gage's?    It's been awhile since I put in there, and I believe you have to pay $5 to get through Johnny's gate.    Was going to head down there tomorrow.   Thanks for any feedback/confirmation.

Coz Johnny needs that $5 real bad. I thought he was all in for doing things to promote the sport of fishing ... how's charging $5 to access a lake that already belongs to all of us doing anything for anyone except himself?

Just put in at Old 86 or if your coming from the South at Cricket.

Thanks for the replies.   I bit the bullet and paid Johnny and put in at Gages.     Fishin wasn't too good for me.    We only had a few hours and spent most of it searching for crappie.   Didn't find many takers today.       Did catch a Kentucky on a Rock Crawler in Blairs Branch but that was it on the cranker.    Marked some good brush for future trips.

What really upset me about this deal was I pay an annual ramp fee Corp Pass to the USACE to launch at all Corp ramps WHICH Long Creek was built by the Corp, so why when money bags Morris decides he wanted to build an eye sore on a really good point, then he has the nerve to charge me for launching. I do not have single problem with him charging day use fees to the campers or people that have not paid the Corp ramp fee but to charge me an extra 5 just to launch is upsetting. When he first bought it I was coming down with a High Schooler prefishing for an event and a really nice lady told me they were gonna start writing tickets for it and I politely said that was fine and fished 2 more days and she waved at me both days as we pulled out. I never got a ticket.

A long time ago i thought it was still a core ramp. I didnt have cash and they didnt take cards then.  I told them look i already bought a boat for him surely he can let me launch the darn thing for free.  The guy went ahead and let me launch
